Definitions
- the present disclosure is directed to glass containers and, more particularly, to compositions for glass containers.
- Glass containers are often composed of so-called Asoda-lime glass, @ also called Asoda-lime-silica glass, @ and many such containers are colored to absorb ultraviolet radiation, and include green glass, blue glass, amber glass, and the like.
- a base flint glass may be melted in a glass melt furnace and, downstream of the furnace, in one or more forehearths, colorants may be added to the base glass to impart green, blue, or amber hues to the glass.
- U.S. Patents that illustrate glass compositions of this type for glass containers include 2,974,052, 3,291,621, 3,326,702, 3,498,806, and 3,627,548.
- a decolorizer may be added to a batched glass composition of the base flint glass in the glass melt furnace to ensure a generally colorless appearance of the glass.
- the decolorizer such as selenium
- additional materials accompany the decolorizer to counteract such detrimental effects of the decolorizer.
- arsenic oxide or hexavalent chromium have been added to neutralize selenium.
- U.S. patents that illustrate glass compositions of this type for glass containers include 2,923,635, and 2,923,636.
- selenium can be added in the forehearths downstream of the glass melt furnace, as illustrated by U.S.
- Patent 2,955,948 A general object of the present disclosure, in accordance with one aspect of the disclosure, is to provide a container glass composition having an oxide of vanadium and an oxide of selenium to produce substantially clear glass containers with a relative non-green appearance and with good blocking of ultraviolet light.
- the present disclosure embodies a number of aspects that can be implemented separately from or in combination with each other.
- a flint glass container in accordance with one aspect of the disclosure includes an improvement for blocking ultraviolet light penetration into the container while providing decolorization in container glass, wherein the container glass includes an oxide of vanadium and an oxide of selenium present in the container glass in an amount ranging between 0.016 wt% and 0.175 wt% total.
- a glass container having a glass composition including soda-lime base glass materials, and additives including an oxide of vanadium and an oxide of selenium retained in the container glass in an amount ranging between 0.016 wt% and 0.175 wt% total.
- a method of making glass containers including the steps of preparing a batched glass composition including soda-lime base glass materials, and including an oxide of vanadium and an oxide of selenium in an amount ranging between 0.035 wt% and 0.25 wt% total, melting the batched glass composition in a glass melt furnace to produce a molten batched glass, forming the glass containers from the molten batched glass, and annealing the glass containers.
- a method of making glass containers including steps of preparing a batched glass composition including soda-lime base glass materials, and additives including an oxide of vanadium and an oxide of selenium in substantially equal amounts, melting the batched glass composition in a glass melt furnace to produce a molten batched glass, forming the glass containers from the molten batched glass, and annealing the glass containers.
- FIG. 1 is an elevational view of a glass container in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure
- FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the glass container body before coating
- FIG. 3 is a graphical plot of light transmission through samples of container glass having various amounts of oxides of vanadium and selenium.
- FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary embodiment of a glass container 10 (e.g., glass bottle, jar, or the like) that may be produced in accord with an exemplary embodiment of a manufacturing process presently disclosed herein below.
- the glass container 10 includes a longitudinal axis A, a base 10a at one axial end of the container 10 that is closed in an axial direction, a body 10b extending in an axial direction from the axially closed base 10a, and a mouth 10c at another axial end of the container 10 opposite of the base 10a.
- the glass container 10 is hollow.
- the container 10 also includes a neck lOd that may extend axially from the body 10b, may be generally conical in shape, and may terminate in the mouth 10c.
- the container 10 need not include the neck lOd and the mouth 10c may terminate the body 10b, such as in a glass jar embodiment or the like.
- the body 10b may be of any suitable shape in cross-section transverse to the axis A as long as the body 10b is circumferentially closed.
- the body 10b may be of cylindrical transverse cross-sectional shape that is circumferentially closed.
- the body 10b may be generally oval, square, rectangular, triangular, or of any other suitable transverse cross-sectional shape.
- Acircumferentially@ applies not only to circular transverse cross-sectional shapes but also applies to any closed transverse cross-sectional shape.
- the glass container 10 may be produced by the following method.
- the method includes preparing a batched glass, or glass batch, composition.
- the composition includes base glass materials and additives including at least one ultraviolet (UV) light blocking enhancing material and at least one decolorizer.
- UV ultraviolet
- Aultraviolet light blocking@ includes the characteristic or property of reducing ultraviolet light transmission in a relative sense, and not necessarily in an absolute sense of UV opacity or zero UV light transmission.
- the base glass materials may include soda-lime flint glass materials.
- the base glass materials may be present in an amount ranging between 73.1 wt% and 99.9 wt% of the batched glass composition. More particularly, and by way of example only, the base glass may include the following materials in amounts by weight:
- the base glass may include the following materials in about the stated amounts by weight:
- the batched glass composition also may include other materials in small amounts.
- the batched glass composition may include Ti02, Fe203, or the like. Such materials may be additives, residual materials from cullet, and/or impurities typical in the glass container manufacturing industry. Such materials may be present in the batched glass composition in trace amounts, for example, less than 0.2 wt%. But no arsenic (As), oxides of As, or hexavalent chromium are affirmatively added to the batched glass composition and, thus, the composition and container may be substantially free of those materials.
- the preferred ultraviolet light blocking enhancing material includes vanadium. Vanadium forms numerous and complicated compounds because of its variable valence. Vanadium has at least three oxidation states: 2+, 3+, and 5+. Trivalent vanadium can be used to produce a green coloration in flint glass, and enhances ultraviolet light protection to glass.
- the vanadium may be added in the form any oxide of vanadium.
- the vanadium may be added in the form of vanadium pentoxide (V205). In the absence of the presently disclosed decolorizer, the vanadium tends to produce a sea green coloration in the glass.
- a preferred decolorizer includes selenium.
- the selenium may be added in the form of granulated selenium metal.
- the selenium may be in the form any oxide of selenium, for example, selenium dioxide (Se02) or selenium trioxide (Se03).
- Another preferred material includes sulfur.
- at least some of the sulfur may be added in the form of any oxide of sulfur, for example, sulfur trioxide (SO3).
- SO3 sulfur trioxide
- at least some of the sulfur may be present as a residual material from cullet in any suitable form.
- the oxide of vanadium and oxide of selenium present in the batched glass composition may be in an amount ranging between 0.035 wt% and 0.25 wt% total. In other words, the total combined amount of oxides of vanadium and selenium in the glass batch equals 0.035 wt% to 0.25 wt%. In another embodiment, the oxides of vanadium and selenium are present in the batched glass composition in substantially equal amounts. As used herein the term Asubstantially@ means within manufacturing tolerances customary in the glass container manufacturing industry.
- the oxide of vanadium may be present in the batched glass composition in an amount ranging between 0.025 wt% and 0.15 wt%, and the oxide of selenium may be present in the batched glass composition in an amount ranging between 0.01 wt% and 0.1 wt%.
- the oxides of vanadium and selenium each may be present in amounts of about 0.1 wt%.
- the oxides of vanadium and selenium each may be present in amounts of about 0.05 wt%.
- Aabout@ means within 0.02 wt%.
- oxide of selenium plays a role in producing a decolorized, or neutral colorization of, vanadium-selenium-containing glass.
- glass melted with oxides of vanadium and selenium in the absence of oxide of sulfur tends to produce pink-peach coloration and minimal decolorization of the sea green coloration from the oxide of vanadium.
- oxide of sulfur content was increased to a level between 0.1 wt% and 0.2 wt%, a shift in coloration was observed including a gray stroke / straw yellow coloration in a top melt portion of the glass, with a decrease in the pink-peach coloration and shift of that coloration to a location centered around the bottom melt portion of the glass.
- oxide of sulfur content was increased to a level of about 0.4 wt%, the glass melt was substantially decolorized with no pink-peach coloration remaining in the glass.
- an oxide of sulfur level ranging between 0.25 wt% and 0.35 wt% in the presence of about 0.1 wt% of oxide of vanadium and about 0.1 wt% of oxide of selenium would provide good decolorization of the glass. More particularly, an oxide of sulfur level of about 0.3 wt% in the presence of about 0.1 wt% of oxide of vanadium and about 0.1 wt% of oxide of selenium is believed to provide particularly good decolorization of glass. However, it is believed that, depending on the amounts selected for oxides of vanadium and selenium, an acceptable range of oxide of sulfur may be between 0.05 wt% and 0.35 wt%.
- the specific role of sulfur may be responsible for one or two different mechanisms.
- a first mechanism is the role of sulfur as a fining agent in a glass melt. Sulfur in this role produces sulfur gas in the melt that rises up through the melt and coalesces with other bubbles. This also mixes the glass melt and results in improved homogeneity.
- a second mechanism involves sulfur acting as a redox couple with the oxide vanadium and/or the oxide of selenium. If it is assumed that sulfur is acting to reduce the vanadium, such reduction would tend to shift the vanadium valance state to 2+. This valence state appears as a colorless/gray.
- the method also includes melting the batched glass composition in a glass melt furnace to produce a molten batched glass.
- the ultraviolet light blocking enhancing material and the decolorizer additives preferably are melted with the base glass materials in the glass melt furnace.
- the conditions and procedure for composing and melting production container glass can be found in, e.g. ⁇ Handbook of Glass Manufacture, @ Tooley, Odgen Publishing Co., New York, NY, 1985, 3rd edition.
- the batched glass composition may be melted, preferably between 1400 and 1500 degrees Celsius for about two to four hours, more preferably between 1425 and 1475 degrees Celsius, and most preferably at about 1450 degrees Celsius for about three hours.
- the method also may include forming the glass containers from the molten batched glass.
- the glass containers may be formed, for example, by press-and-blow or blow-and-blow processes and by individual section machines, or in any other suitable manner by any suitable equipment.
- the method further may include annealing the glass containers in any suitable manner, for example, in an annealing lehr.
- the temperature therein may be between 600 and 550 degrees Celsius.
- the temperature may be brought down gradually to a downstream portion, cool end, or exit of the lehr, for example, to a temperature therein of between 130 degrees Celsius and 65 degrees Celsius.
- the glass containers may be annealed, preferably between 550 and 600 degrees Celsius for about 30 to 90 minutes, more preferably between 525 and 575 degrees Celsius, and most preferably at about 550 degrees Celsius for about one hour.
- the method may be carried out without having to heat the glass containers to striking temperatures. In other words, the glass containers need not be struck to provide decolorization.
- the selenium potentially reduces the state of at least some of the vanadium from the trivalent state to a bivalent state in the glass.
- This reduction of the vanadium is believed to negate or mask the green coloration that otherwise would be produced by the vanadium.
- Such reduction may produce a generally colorless appearance, perhaps with a straw yellow to slight gray coloration in the glass and, in any event, a non-green appearance in the glass.
- the slight gray color is attributed to a nearly uniform decrease of the percent transmission of visible light.
- the decrease in the visible light transmission may range from 10 to 20 percent less than a typical flint glass that is not decolorized.
- flint glass containers may be produced with good ultraviolet light blocking properties and without the green coloration normally associated with vanadium-doped glass.
- the oxides of vanadium and selenium additives and their disclosed amounts produce decolorized glass containers with non-green coloration, yet good UV protection.
- the glass containers may have a retained glass composition that is different from the batched glass composition. For example, only about 10-35% of the oxide of selenium added to the batched glass composition may be present or retained in the retained glass composition. Similarly, only about 50-70% of the oxide of sulfur added to the batched glass composition may be present or retained in the retained glass composition. In contrast, the oxide of vanadium may be largely retained in the retained glass composition in the produced containers. In other words, the relative amounts of vanadium to selenium retained in the glass composition in the produced containers may be about a four to one ratio of vanadium to selenium.
- the glass containers may include a total amount of oxides of vanadium and selenium present in the retained glass composition in an amount ranging between 0.016 wt% and 0.175 wt% total. In other words, the total combined amount of oxides of vanadium and selenium retained in the glass container equals 0.016 wt% to 0.175 wt%. Also, the glass container may include an oxide of sulfur content in an amount ranging between 0.03 wt% and 0.3 wt%.
- the oxide of sulfur may be present in the retained glass composition in an amount between 0.08 wt% and 0.25 wt%, and the oxide of vanadium may be present in the retained glass composition in an amount ranging between 0.01 wt% and 0.14 wt%, whereas the oxide of selenium may be present in the retained glass composition in an amount ranging between 0.006 wt% and 0.035 wt%.
- the oxide of sulfur may be present in the retained glass composition in an amount .of about 0.2 wt%, and the oxide of vanadium may be present in the retained glass composition in an amount of about 0.1 wt%, whereas the oxide of selenium may be present in the retained glass composition in an amount of about 0.025%.
- the soda-lime base glass materials may be retained in an amount ranging between 73.1 wt% and 99.9 wt%.
- FIG. 3 illustrates six plots of light transmission vs. wavelength through six different samples of glass.
- the first plot, A represents transmission through a sample of the base glass composition, standard white flint glass.
- the second plot, B represents transmission through a sample of the base glass doped with about 0.1 wt% vanadium.
- plot C represents a base glass composition doped with about 0.1 wt% of vanadium and about 0.0078 wt% of selenium.
- plot D represents a base glass composition doped with about 0.1 wt% of vanadium and about 0.05 wt% of selenium, wherein green decoloration was incomplete.
- plot F represents a base glass composition doped with about 0.1 wt% of vanadium and about 0.2 wt% of selenium, wherein green decolorization was complete but the glass was dark flint in color with streaks of pink due to incomplete mixing of selenium which created non-homogenous sections in the glass.
- glass doped with 0.05 wt% vanadium has shown better UV light protection. Therefore, it is believed that glass doped with 0.05 wt% vanadium and 0.05 wt% selenium may provide even better UV light protection, but may or may not provide better non-green and/or colorless appearance.
- the container has transparency characterized by 0% to 2% transmission at 340 nm to 350 nm wavelength, and by 60% to 75% transmission at 390 nm to 410 nm wavelength.
- the best results were achieved by weighting out the raw materials for a 200g-300g batch, and in accordance standard batch calculation practice common in the glass industry.
- the raw materials were mortar-and-pestled to break up agglomerate material.
- the raw materials then were mixed together using a mixer for about ten minutes. While mixing, a crucible for the batched glass melt was pre-heated at 1350 degrees Celsius for about ten minutes.
- the raw materials were added to the crucible until the crucible was half-full.
- the crucible was placed in a furnace at 1294 degrees Celsius and reached a temperature of 1450 degrees Celsius after 23 minutes. After 29 minutes, the crucible was charged and the rest of the raw materials were added thereto.
- the crucible was placed back in the furnace at 1402 degrees Celsius and reached 1450 degrees Celsius after one minute.
- the raw materials were melted for three hours and then poured into two patties, and then placed in an annealing oven at 546 degrees Celsius.
- the glass is then annealed at 550 degrees Celsius for on hour before shutting off the annealing oven to let the glass cool down to room temperature overnight.
- the patties were annealed to remove stress.
- One of the resulting samples was cut with a core drill to a 30 mm diameter, polished on both sides using a polisher and grit sizes of 240, 125, 75, 15, 9, 3, and 1 micrometer, and final polished with colloidal silica.
- the sample was spectrum analyzed with a PERKTN-ELMER LAMDA 900 brand analyzer.
- the term Aclear@ or AclarityS relates to the quality or state of being clear which quality can be measured through spectroscopy. These terms may be referred to as transparency throughout the visible spectrum, which is a function of wavelength. Sometimes the terms are also referred to as translucence. Also as used, herein, the term Aunstained@ or Acolorlessness@ is an estimation that relates to the degree to which glass lacks color throughout the visible spectrum. Most transition, metal ions have the capability of coloring glass, and the degree to which they are present determines the level of color.
